I started making a Google Map of Fort Wayne dining through Wayfaring.
Now it’s almost 3am, and all I have to show for it is a couple of places I like to eat on a map.
It’s pretty cool though, check it out.

I offered Near Blind Guy a Hostess Ding Dong today after lunch. Not thinking about it, I threw it to him. When you throw a Ding Dong to a near blind guy, it’s actually more like throwing AT someone.
He actually caught it, then he yelled “Blind Guy Catcheth!” and left the room.
He was happy about the Ding Dong.

Lori called me into the kitchen last night and held up one of our ice cube trays for me to look at. The corner ice cube had this little ice spike sticking out of it at about a 75 degree angle. I have to admit, I am totally perplexed. How is this possible? After thoroughly examining this freezer phenomenon, I did what any good blogger would do. I ran for the Kodak and snapped a couple of pictures so I could share it with the world.
It turns out this is the SECOND time this has happened in the past few weeks (Lori didn’t share the first event with me). After ransacking the freezer looking for an answer, I came up blank.
So, can ANYONE tell me what caused this?

Did anybody else hear about this?
One kindergartener is lucky to be alive after hopping in the driver’s seat of his school bus.
Officials say six-year-old Dionte McCoy of Milwaukee tried driving his school bus home Tuesday (February 28, 2006).
“I just wanted to go home,” McCoy says. “My teacher had made me mad. That’s why I wanted to go home.”
He slipped out of his classroom half an hour before dismissal and climbed into an empty and idling school bus.
The driver was off emptying some trash. Officials say the child drove around the school’s circular drive, left the school grounds and came to a stop down the street.
No one got hurt, but Dionte ended up snapping off a tree, knocking down a fence, and hitting a pickup.

Evidently a 12 year old decided to stick a chewed wad of Wrigley’s Extra Polar Ice gum on Helen Frankenthaler’s abstract painting titled “The Bay,” valued at an estimated 1.5 million dollars. The gum left a quarter sized stain in the left bottom corner of the 7 foot square canvas. The museum’s conservation department is going to research the chemical makeup of the gum to determine the best cleaning method.
A couple of thoughts…
How does a 12 year old with a mouth full of chewing gum get that close to a 1.5 million dollar painting?
- There are one or more people whose job is to research the chemical makeup of Wrigley’s Extra Polar Ice Gum AND they are VERY serious about it.
- Wrigley’s marketing department should take advantage. I can already see the print ad, tv commercial, and website in my mind.
- Is it really worth the trouble to repair?
Just put a sign with a little arrow pointing to the stain with the whole story. Maybe get an attendance boost to the museum.
- How much money will be wasted to remove it.
- And lastly, I don’t see how you could mess it up anyway. It already looks like a big ol’ piece of chewed up bubble gum.
